Media reviews

"I love this book. I couldn't put it down. So many people guide their lives and make major decisions based on myths that are unstated and even unconscious. Pepper Schwartz's delightful book clears away the cobwebs from clouded minds and gives us the power to see things as they are." John Gottman, author of The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work
